Research

Primary Research

Pre-eruptive Volcanic Geochemistry, Relationship between Volatiles (H2O, CO2, S, F & Cl) and trace elements related to subduction recycling in Magmatic Systems, Igneous Petrology, Volcanic Conduit Processes

Secondary Research with the »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË-CGA Core Faculty

Manager of the : Instrumentation includes 2 ICP-MS with coupled PrepFAST IC and Laser Ablation systems, ICP-OES, HP-IC, FTIR and IRMS.

I examine, among other things via the , forensic soils, elemental extracts, chemically treated environmental waters and trace elements in biological and prebiotic materials.
